on the cage. Install the four 6-32 standard screws that secure the hard disk drive to the hard disk
drive cage (2). Make sure the hard disk drive cables are facing the top of the drive cage.
NOTE: If you are replacing an old drive with a new drive, use the four retainer screws from the
old drive to install the new drive.
NOTE: If you are installing a second hard drive, use four of the extra standard 6-32 screws that
are installed on the interior of the front bezel. The 6-32 screws are silver.
3. Connect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) to the back of the hard drive.
CAUTION: Never crease or bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius. A
sharp bend can break the internal wires.
